Haven’t done a thread of any kind since last summer, but recent events have sealed it for me, really. Won’t be returning.
Musk really did a number on #weirdcartwitter, eh?
It's all about the little details with this one; a worn-out SIPS sticker clings to the rear window, while scraped bumpers and a dented bootlid hint at a hard life.
Don't forget its dealer plates and stickers, too; big scorers in banger bingo.
Despite its rather boxy build, the 850 was surprisingly handy in Super Touring guise, with a fiercely reliable 20V engine and serious talent behind the wheel.
Rydell and Burt were regular podium scorers with TWR, while Flash Nilsson won back-to-back Swedish in his 850.
Originally, this week's find was to be a fetching Opel Calibra, which I'd been eyeing since last summer. I've always fancied GM's sexy Vectra, especially this 16-valver with gaudy plates and bubbling bodywork. Sadly, the scrappers had beaten us to it. Have an old photo and weep.
Bad angles (trop dur)
Except for the Primera, all these cars were found on the same street. You'd think, then, that I'd have managed to take just one photo I was happy with.
Still, where else can you find an artefact like this washed-out '87 Starlet? (Portugal aside).

£200 worth of stickers on what, these days, is probably almost a half million quid car! 😂😂
It's why I don't sell anything now!
